Excerpt from Wishmaker's Town The Boston transcript gave me an opportunity of saying something about it, but a very little, as I have but a slight influ ence with the exchange editor, since he has stopped smoking and consequently does not borrow my segars. But I have worked upon the literary editor, and I will send you what he says when it appears. I have over two columns of book reviews upstairs now, he said, and how can I possibly notice your friend's verses which came out over a year ago I told him to read whathe called verses, and if he was not moved to speak of them I would put no faith in his future effusions. As I am the only man now on the staff who does read his criticisms, the threat had the desired effect, and he is now quoting, Lovers I count on my finger tips, lives, like dice, for my smiles are thrown, whenever I venture into his sanctum. You may be a young man (as you no doubt gather by this that I am), or you may be an old man, who will think all this impertinent. In any case I have put myself on record as being a great admirer of William Young; I have done what little I can to make others read him, and if the world does not fully ap preciate him, let him remember, God doesnot pay his debts every Saturday night; neither does the terrible trumpet of Fame sound with no uncertain sound as readily as it should.
